Most art museums have paintings of naked reclining women - thus the name Odalisque - but few have been as celebrated or as controversial as Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres' Grand Odalisque/\. One, the scale of the painting is quite large. Two, he elongated her back by several vertebrate to, so scholars believe to add to her sensuality. Very provocative work for the time.

Art Needlepoint Company was founded on the simple idea that art, like good design, should be available to everyone. Our canvases represent a large variety of artists from nearly all centuries and genres. We like to think of the art of needlepoint as the ability to create maximum effect from a minimum of materials. With so much art work available across time, there is at least one if not dozens of works of art for every taste and every skill level. With a myriad of thread and stitch choices, stichers can unleash their creativity to make each canvas their own.
